  1. Bet me to the answer, although i thought it was different names for the same thing.
  2. Its the hill of much cheesey action.
  3. Good spiking action, you can't beat the feeling of narrow bendy balancing with nothing around you.
  4. A mix of himalayan birch, manchurian and tibetan cheery, under planted with dog wood, and viburnhams. Expensive yes, but visualy stunning. I planted a hedge with this mix about five years ago, and it now looking amazing particularly in the winter with all the different colour barks.
  5. Thats his look when he is not allowed out, and he can can see birds that need chasing.
  6. Pnumatic drill and a sledge hammer. Yet to find a knot that will defy this combination.
  7. Rich's farmhouse cider, ooooh arrrrrrr
  8. I am glad that all the trees are on the ground, all that it left is to winch them out. Not looking forward to that. The first photo shows the trees before snedding, and the second after snedding. The forth photo shows a particularly bad tree. The branches did not move after they were cut, they were held firmly in place by the brambles. i had to cut the branches again to give me enough room to fell the tree. The third picture shows the chaos after the the trees have been felled. The brash is chest high in places, which is too much for our machinery to cross. So a winching we go, traa la la lar The beech may survive !!
  9. Now that i have finally got my phone and computer to talk, here is bob snug and warm with one of my sons jumpers
  10. Particularly as he was banging on about sustainable use of woodlands and not wasting the woodland resources. He left enough for a stool
  11. I make my own webbing slings using a tape knot. About 1/4 the price of the ready made loops, and they can be made to what ever lenght you spacifically want. I think that the tape knot reduces the breaking strain by about 50%. But i have yet to break one, and i have used some for some highly inappropriate uses mostly involving tractors and large lumps of wood/stuck vehicles
  12. Only freeview
  13. It is probably all the sizes that they can not sell, and that do not fit normal people !
  14. Not until 9.30 in wales due to scrum buttocks live and sport flaming wales. Grrrrrrrrrr
  15. Don't let the b........ds get you down. Do what make you happy, life is too short being miserable.
  16. Ribbed for extra sensitivity sir.
  17. Begs the question WHY??
  18. Ah the joys of lop and top merchants
  19. 15 stone, 5 wraps, 2 turns. Using that balck cord with the kevlar woven through it (and i wish that i had not brought so much of it as i do not like it). Using the Marlow clibing rope.
  20. What pray tell is a telescopic reach tool, other than something to extend your reach ?
  21. Nice badgers chair !!! It takes alot of practice to get them that big !!!!
  22. Man and saw: £80-£100 per day, depending on volume produced Tractor: £50 per day Splitter: £25 per day. Fuel: £20 per day If the work is more than 5 miles away, you need to add in mileage/ transport costs.
  23. Handle may be for woman, but somebody that i used to work with, managed to loose his file in his forearm when he tripped over. Amazingly it took him 5 minutes to find where the file had gone, when he spotted the small trail of blood on his wrist. Surgeon could not believe that the whole file was in his arm until he removed it. You have been warned
  24. It's Sunday night, and my brain hurts: A number between 1- 10,000
  25. Holy cow that a lot of big words, and no pictures !
